Taking Proper Care of your Hair Extensions

Just like your natural hair, your hair extensions also need proper maintenance and care to keep it looking as stunning and vibrant as you first got them. Hair extensions aren't cheap and they make worthy investments to your personal grooming. It will be a waste of money if your investments don’t last as long as you expect them to. Fortunately, it takes only a few simple steps to be able to maintain the integrity and beauty of your hair extensions.

Brush your hair every day. Hair extensions get entangled, too, just like natural hair, and the best way to avoid this is to brush your hair on a regular basis. Exercise care when brushing your extensions, as you could just as easily pull out the strands.

Wash and clean your hair. Dandruff and sweat build-up aren't only affecting your scalp, but it can also cause tangling and might even loosen your hair extensions. After every rigorous activity, make it a habit to wash your hair using the recommended hair products by your hair specialist.

Wear your hair in loose ponytail before you sleep. Your extensions might get entangled while you sleep, so it’s recommended to wear your hair in a loose plait. Wearing your hair this way makes it easier to brush your hair in the morning.

Avoid heat at all costs. Like your natural hair, heat is the biggest enemy for your extensions. Instead, use a soft bristle brush when you’re styling your hair, and let it dry the natural way.
